hillary clinton, about susan rice, about the state department. yesterday it became about president obama. and the question was, where was he, after having a prescheduled meeting in the afternoon on that day, secretary panetta spoke to him no more. i think what became clear with lindsey graham's questioning about possible military activity is that nobody in the pentagon would have ordered military act ship without a specific order from the president. and the president wasn't around. rick: i want do ask you both, we have about a minute and a half left. another story came out of these hearings. that is the president himself, rick, himself opposed a plan that was supported by pretty much everybody else in his administration, to try to arm the rebels in syria. what do you make of that? >> you know i think it's remarkable that his team was really recommending that we needed to do something to support what was happening there and identify the opposition, the right opposition and then try to give them some sort of military support. and the president said no. i think this goes back to exactly who

jobs between march 1 and the end of this year. those are not my numbers. those are not president obama's numbers. those are the numbers from the bipartisan -- by the non partisan, independent congressional budget office. 750,000 fewer american jobs by the end of this year if we don't replace the sequester. this majority in this house has not taken any action this year in this congress to prevent that sequester from happening beginning friday. not one step. we have now asked three times for the opportunity to vote on our alternative. what's our alternative, mr. speaker? our alternative would replace the sequester with a balanced mix of cuts and revenue generated by closing tax loopholes and tax preferences that benefit the very wealthy. very specifically because it's a concrete proposal, we would get rid of the direct payments that go to agribusinesses, something that used to be -- have bipartisan support. because that's an unnecessary subsidy that has outlived its purpose. so that's a cut. we also say we no longer need taxpayer subsidies for the big oil companies. guess what? that's an
